Chapter 254: Evil year beast

New Year!
This is the decision Han Cheng made after returning to his room and calming down a bit.
You can get pottery, salt, breeding, and planting, so why can't you also bring Nian?
I can't go back to the past, I can't realize the atmosphere of the new year in later generations, and I will live here.
In addition to Han Cheng’s indispensable complex, holding such a festival can also subtly strengthen the ideological and cultural construction of the Qingque tribe, and enhance the cultural identity and cohesion of the entire Qingque tribe. The sacrificial rites of witches play a big role.
After making this decision, Han Chengcheng went to Wu to talk about it.
At this time, the witch was looking at the stone pottery plates with many moons.
From time to time, the stone said a few words on the side, explaining the meaning of the above to Wu.
Because when Han Cheng talked about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl before, he carefully shared the year, month, and day with the tribe. Wu had a concept in his mind.
Although it is not very clear, it is still very helpful to combine these "moons" drawn with stones. Slowly, I can make those things I don't understand very clear.
Han Cheng asked Shitou to call the senior brother to talk about this together.
Although knowing that the big brother as the leader would have no objection to this matter, Han Cheng still didn't want to bypass him. This was the respect he should have for the man who led the Qingque tribe to survive.
"New Year?"
Wu repeated this new word that he had learned from the son of God, showing a thoughtful look.
He didn't understand why the son of God said this ‘New Year’ thing in a good manner, and he couldn’t figure out why he did this.
With the stone aside, two sullen eyes turned grunting, not knowing what was thinking.
The big brother didn't say a word either, and the same expression of thinking appeared on his face.
It is not easy for them to understand the concept of "year" and the meaning it represents, at least it is more difficult than Han Cheng thought.
Seeing that the three people in the tribe with the highest and fastest acceptance of new things reacted this way, Han Cheng couldn't help scratching his hair.
It is not easy to promote the year in the tribe.
What method should we use to explain the ‘year’ to everyone clearly?
Han Cheng wondered in his heart.
"It's like this."
Han Cheng spoke again and paused for a while. After seeing the eyes of all three of them, he continued: "In a very deep and deep place in the mountains and forests, there lives a huge beast. The name of the beast is called'Nian '..."
Han Cheng thought about it, and suddenly remembered how much the people of the Qingque tribe liked the story, so he told the story of "Nian Beast", which I don't know when it was passed down, with a little modification.
The effect was surprisingly good. As soon as the lecture started, the three people in the room were immediately attracted.
When Han Cheng talked about the terrifying Nian Beast coming out of the mountains to attack the tribe, destroy the cave, and eat the people of the tribe, the witch showed a solemn panic and he involuntarily got up and blocked Han Cheng behind him.
The big brother in a hurry picked up the wooden pier and blocked the door. The little stone had a pale face, gritted his teeth and blocked Han Cheng's front, and was pulled behind him by the witch.
Han Cheng was moved, and a little bit dumbfounded. Couldn't he have such a big reaction every time he listens to a story?
Han Cheng helped Wu back to sit on the edge of the kang, pulled the stone to one side, and pulled the big brother to let him put down the wooden pier and sit down again. The three people still looked surprised and said: "The year will not come now. , It will visit the tribe only on the last day of the year..."
"We have walls, bows and arrows, and slings..."
The most lively Shi reacted, and said with a sullen face and fists.
This is the same thing Wu and Senior Brother want to say.
The two of them looked at Han Cheng together, expressing the same meaning as the stone.
Han Cheng smiled, not bad, he is full of fighting spirit.
On the face, he shook his head with a serious expression: "No, the year is rough and thick, and stone spears, bows and arrows can't hurt it... Stone caves can collapse, our walls are made of soil..."
Hearing what Han Cheng said, several people who were still more determined suddenly became more panicked.
Han Cheng was worried that they would make the kind of excessive reaction just now. He didn't dare to pause for too long, so he went on: "But Nian is afraid of sound and fire. As long as the firecrackers are lit on the last night, he will not dare to come out... ...'
Hearing what Han Cheng said, the three of them gradually relaxed.
While thinking of the evil Nian Beast, while thinking of ways to deal with it.
"God, what is a firecracker?"
This is a good thing to deal with Nian Beast, it doesn't work if you don't ask clearly.
When Han Cheng heard Shitou's question, he was taken aback. The adaptation of this story was not perfect. He said the firecrackers smoothly, but forgot that there were no bamboos around the tribe.
How can this be good?
After seeing the reaction of Shenzi, the witch and senior brother who asked the same question, they vaguely felt that something was wrong, and Shenzi seemed to be unable to create something to scare Nian Beast. The thing called "Firecracker", that thing...
"Firecrackers are something that makes a loud noise after burning."
Han Cheng said.
"That thing is not near us...no...but we have drums, which are louder than firecrackers..."
At this moment, Han Chengdu couldn't help but want to praise his wit, and such flaws were all corrected by himself.
When the three of them heard the words of the son of Han Da~EbookFREE.me~ their eyes suddenly lit up, yes, they have drums!
The drum made by the son of God, which beats like thunder!
They all sounded a little scared by this voice, not to mention the Nian Beast, who was already afraid of the voice!
They also asked when it was the last day of the year when Han Cheng came to the pottery plate where the moon was depicted by the stone, and used a piece of charcoal behind the last question mark depicted by the black baby of the month, and circled 25 black colors. And black out the last circle to tell them that this is the last day of the year.
This is actually Han Cheng's blindness, because there are not enough moons portrayed by the stone, and it is not possible to find a pattern from it, so he does not know whether this month is a big moon or a small moon.
But it doesn't matter if there is an error of one day. After all, there will be no Nian Beast. Han Cheng just wants to use this as a pretext to introduce Nian in a way that is more acceptable to the Qingque tribe.
The highest meeting on the New Year ended here, and then Han Cheng, Wu Wu, and the big brothers gathered the tribe people together. According to the successful example not long ago, they first told the story of the evil Nian Beast, and then proposed a response to the Nian Beast. The way, everyone naturally follows.
